Thank you for sharing your experiences. ❤️ I was very shy growing up…for me, the bullying started in the 7th grade. I stsrted Junior High School back then. I will be 76 in July and the feelings of being “inferior” still return in certain situations. I realized as an adult that I’ve always had depression. Never told my parents how I felt or about the bullying in school. I had wonderful parents but didn’t want to cause them worry. I’ve gotten much stronger mrntally, as I’ve aged; I pray and give most of the feeling to God…but, cannot forget completely. Reply
My father was a alcoholic too! I hated the way he was when he was drunk. That being said there was always food on the table an the bills were always paid. Sorry you were bullied in school, but we have to give it to God and leave it in the past. God Bless you Reply
Same for us he took care of the home, bills, food, clothes, all of our needs in that way always. Reply
It’s sad to see that there are still kids getting bullied. I was bullied for being fat and called names. I still remember the kids who poked fun at me. It’s hard to let go, isn’t it Debbie? I love your stories and love the uplifting posts you put on Facebook. Reply
Cheryl, it can be yes. In my case, I was the new kid at school. I was slim, shy, and kinda introverted at 10. So, I didn’t speak up or out for myself for a while. I learned to find my voice. I also know now that the kid that started it was very troubled he ended up in prison later on in his life. He got a few others to join him because he probably bullied them if they didn’t. Sadly most bullies are not happy people, but that still doesn’t make it right. I forgave them long ago and moved forward with who I was, not as much of what others thought about me. Reply
Dear Debbie, I am glad you had your Grandma to help you and your Mom’s friend. Teachers were no help back then. I am glad you felt the protection of our Lord at a young age.l; you were so blessed. And you are a strong woman who speaks out about bullies. You are heard. 💖 Reply
They are still not much help, sadly this goes on daily in all schools. Teachers, some just turn away. Reply

I absolutely love your post and testimony. I hated being bullied and never told my parents or sisters. I remember being bullied in high school. People can be so mean and cruel. Thank you for sharing. Love to you my dear friend. Reply
